– The opening match of tonight’s WWE NXT “Takeover: XXV” event saw Matt Riddle defeat Roderick Strong. Above is post-match video of Riddle talking to Cathy Kelley about the win. Riddle revealed that he debuted a new suplex finisher in the match, which is something he’d been working on at the WWE Performance Center. Cathy asked him how important the win was.
“You know, not only was it important to my career because beating Roderick Strong, a former champion, is an accomplishment in itself,” Riddle said. “But after the weeks of torment him and Undisputed have been putting me through, attacking me backstage, getting my sandals all bloody, and everything else, then blemishing my record even more so with that tag match, so I just think tonight was a long time coming. I think Roddy paid what he owed to The Bro. And that was good, I’m happy about that. My back’s killing me. They don’t call him the Messiah of the Backbreaker for nothing. He did basically anything anybody could do to beat me, and I came out on top.”
– A new “coming soon” vignette for Damien Priest premiered during WWE NXT “Takeover: XXV” this weekend. Priest is former ROH TV Champion Punishment Martinez. Priest has been working NXT live events and dark matches since November 2018. He lost to Matt Riddle during a December NXT TV match.
